Customs at Johannesburg, South Africa was totally backed up. Getting through took three hours, resulting in a missed connection. Totally beyond our control. Couldn't get a flight out until 1pm the next day. Had to stay overnight in Johannesburg and had the expenditure of a hotel room and breakfast, lost a day in Cape Town and the value of our prepaid room and breakfast in Cape Town. Paid over $400 for this policy and was advised by the carrier and InsureMyTrip's advocate nothing would be covered, customs isn't a covered cause of loss. Worthless!

After my husbands back injury we still had hopes of making this trip, until the final outcome was surgery. We asked for copies of all medical records as we went through various procedures as we always do. We sent these in with our claim and it was processed within weeks. We were very satisfied with the whole experience and would definitely insure our next trip with them.

Thankful to have an option that met my needs. Did not have to use! The best report is not to ever know how good or bad this trip insurance was. Thank you.

The whole point of the trip insurance is to never use it! - Such is the case! Thank you for peace of mind.

My claim was processed quickly and without incident. My only comment would be a lot of paperwork was required to process the claim, but they worked with me to get what was needed.

This review doesn't really mean much in the sense I didn't have to use/file a claim. Let's say it gave me peace of mind, but the real test would be if the policy/coverage actually did what I bought it for.

The ease of actual purchase of coverage/policy means nothing. Working when needed does!

Would I buy again, Yes. More important though, I hope I never have to use it.

I didn't travel, as my ticket could not be rescheduled. However, am happy of the cost and easiness to purchase this plan. If I wanted to get comprehensive cover, what do i need to do?

    Unfortunately Comprehensive Plans, which are the only plans covering Trip Cancellation, are not available to non-US residents.

The good news is that I didn't need to use the insurance. The better news is that I felt well-protected on my trip, and that no matter what happened, I would be covered.
Thank you for your wonderful service!

Glad we did not have to use the insurance but it was good to know it was there if we had needed it.
